North America Aftermarket Torsional Vibration Dampers Market Size, Share, and Analysis by 2028

The North America aftermarket torsional vibration dampers market is expected to grow from US$ 259.30 million in 2022 to US$ 384.35 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2028.

Torsional vibration dampers are used in the internal combustion engines of vehicles to absorb rotational vibrations. The dampers are particularly effective in conjunction with decoupled pulleys, which shield belt drive and auxiliaries from crankshaft irregularities. Torsional vibration dampers improve engine performance and durability, along with providing greater driving comfort and fuel efficiency. The use of torsional vibration dampers enhances the efficiency of vehicles, reduces noise, and improves overall performance. Moreover, tolerance for high temperatures and harsh environmental conditions, and the decreasing cost of ownership over time are the prominent benefits conferred by these components. However, a worn-out torsional vibration damper cannot properly dampen the vibrations, and uncontrolled vibrations may result in a compromised crankshaft. Hence, checking the torsional vibration dampers at each service interval becomes an essential task. Per ContiTech AG, torsional vibration dampers are subject to aging and wear, which calls for their regular checking and replacement. The company recommends the inspection of a torsional vibration damper after every 60,000 km run of a vehicle and the replacement after every 120,000 km of the vehicle. According to Vibratech TVD, replacement intervals may vary depending on the engine manufacturer, with an average of ~500,000 miles/15,000 hours, or at major overhauls and in-frame rebuilds. Thus, keeping vehicle safety as a priority, the potential demand for North America aftermarket torsional vibration dampers market is expected to rise in the coming years.

The growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is a major factor boosting the North America aftermarket torsional vibration damper market. Torsional vibration dampers are priced high by OEMs; thus, customers prefer buying these components from aftermarket vendors due to the cheaper availability of products. The engines used in agricultural and mining vehicles are high-power engines that create significant noise and vibrations, leading to the need for vibration dampers. Further, the growing inclination toward compactness and lightweight components in the automobile industry is a key trend favoring the North America aftermarket torsional vibration damper market progress.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America Aftermarket Torsional Vibration Dampers Market

North America has the highest acceptance and development rate of emerging technologies worldwide due to favorable government policies that promote innovation and reinforce infrastructure capabilities. The automotive industry has a potential influence on the country’s economy. Notably, the COVID-19 crisis in the US led to a cascading impact on multiple industries, such as IT, automotive, and telecommunications. Halted operations in these industries hampered the business dynamics of the country in the first half of 2020. 43 states recorded lower auto exports in 2020 than in 2019. In addition to these conditions, disrupted supply chains and a tight labor market limited the aftermarket torsional vibration dampers market growth in North America in 2020. However, from 2021 onward, the market performance began improving rapidly with a significant rise in demand from aftermarket sales.

Market Insight–Need for Torsional Vibration Damper Replacement Drives North America Aftermarket Torsional Vibration Dampers Market Growth

Torsional vibration dampers absorb rotational vibrations in internal combustion engines (ICEs), which reduces unwanted noise and enables a more lightweight crankshaft design, eventually extending the life of a motor and enhancing the operational efficiency of vehicles. Countries in North America are highly focused on curbing carbon emissions and improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles on their roads. Heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers find it challenging to mitigate the carbon emission levels of their vehicles. In April 2022, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the US Department of Transportation announced new fuel economy standards that are expected to enhance fuel efficiency of automotive vehicles by 8% annually for model years 2024–2025 and 10% for the model year 2026. However, an increase in torsional vibrations is one of the key hindrances in the ongoing development of more efficient combustion engines. Thus, such initiatives from the US government for reducing the consumption of fuel and improving the efficiency of vehicles are triggering the demand for the adoption of torsional vibration dampers in commercial vehicles. Studies are being conducted for developing the optimum design of torsional vibration dampers using the “hybrid damping” approach to decrease the torsional vibrations in the cranktrain system of ICEs. Thus, the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles boosts the demand for torsional vibration dampers replacement in North America, thereby propelling the North America aftermarket torsional vibration dampers market growth.
